With amazing clarity the writer paints a picture with words of a bygone era of the American Landscape. A long time before TV, DVD?s, VCR?s, cell phones, iPODS, and the Internet.

Playing such games as Red Come Over and One Potato, shooting marbles, and organizing their own baseball games. Long before Little League or Soccer Moms. The players found a vacant lot, brought their own taped up baseball and bat, chose up sides, and played without benefit of uniforms or umpires.
